A Mil Máscaras of flavour. This Imperial stout will wrestle your taste buds to the canvas in a Tag Team of insane sensory assault. Coffee, chocolate and alittle spice on the nose. Dark chocolate mixes with mocha, vanilla and spice, all layered over a smooth nitro-styling you never saw coming. This set-up finishes with a delicate habanero drop kick as the bell sounds.

Nitro widget in a can. I think. Beautiful pour, you gotta hand it to 'em. Nose is a little volatile. Palate is at first creamy & smooth, then it goes alky, alky alky. Of course its completely flat. The way this stuff coats the glass is so intriguing. Taste is dark chocolate liquor. Thick rich liquid chocolate liquor, I think I bought something like this in the state store when I turned 21. The foamy creamy stuff stays to the end, nice presentation but that alky rude almost chocolate, but not quite frontal assault, is difficult to take. Yes, one big volatile alky blast in the face; mays well just go buy yourself some hard liquor for the same effect. WTF

Nitro can from Holiday Market. Pours a pitch black with creamy tan colored head that lingers throughout. Cacao nib, milk chocolate and cinnamon aromas on the nose. Some faint cayenne as it warms. Creamy nitro texture, no carbonation. Smooth and like liquid chocolate cold brew on the palate. More milk chocolate, baker's chocolate and cinnamon with the cayenne more pronounced. Finishes a bit spicy with cayenne and lingering baker's chocolate. Would love to try a non-nitro since I'm not a big nitro fan. Still enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Choco Libre on 13 Jan 2020 at 23:48 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5.

Nitro can from wine warehouse. Pours black with a soft beige head. Aroma is milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee. Flavor is chocolate, vanilla, cocoa. Light spice, not a ton of heat but a little down the throat.

Ez aztán odabasz hallode. A Cayenne a végén gyönyörű, és az oly lágy selymes test, milk csokoládé.
